Weeknote Calculator
If you’re here, you probably don’t need this. If you’re thinking about being here, you may need this. It’s a calculator that will help you count what week you’re in. Thanks to Adrian McEwen at MCQN!

Please welcome, Charlie Gower to Weeknotes.com. Since Charlie travels a good bit, including regular visits to Berlin, that means we can more or less bump the country count up to six. The next weeknotes participant will bring the total to twenty! So that’s the state of the site this week. In just a few months we’ve grown from an initial crop of about five. Let’s see if we can...

Great news! In adding some new feeds I started looking at the code for the site again and realized that there was a serious (and simple, dumb) error in the aggregated feed. That should be fixed now.
We’ve added a few new Weeknoters to the mix. Say hello to Tim Duckett, Robin Sloan, Rattle, Nordkapp, and Jim Meredith. Phew. That’s a total of 18 feeds from 5 countries now.
The US (7)...
Weeknote #0x8*
Two new feeds on the list this week: Molly Steenson, a PhD Student at Princeton, and Kars Alfrink, a freelance interaction designer. Welcome!
*Due to Tumblr’s curious non-timestamped javascript embed widget I have sort of given up keeping track of the actual week.

Not much to report other than the fact that we’ve added a new member. Please welcome Do Projects to Weeknotes. Do Projects is a collaboration between Nurri Kim, Adam Greenfield, and occasional other members.
Tweaks
OK, a couple things. We’ve tweaked the formatting a bit to order the items by date starting with newest on the left.
Some of you have mentioned that this site is not the most legible. You’re correct. Suggestions on alternate layouts? We’ve been toying with an ‘expandable tile’ format but it’s a pain in the CSS-butt.
Also, we’re testing out a new...

Let’s consider this a first attempt. I think it’s working, but please report any problems.

As of today, please welcome Second Verse to the mix. SV is a one-man-shop headed up by Ryan Freitas delivering the very finest in experience design from a office in the Mission district of San Francisco.
At the end of week one this puts our total at nine offices keeping Weeknotes: three in the SF Bay Area; three in London; and one each in Oxfordshire, Stockholm, and Finland.

Browsers are like old people
They may be persnickety, but you can’t help but love them.
So yeah, the HTML should be rendering properly in Safari now.
Welcome to weeknotes
After thinking about doing this for, umm, weeks now I’ve finally gotten around to setting something up. While I’m not in the habit of making web things much these days, it’s amazing how easy you youngin’s have it. Back when I was doing web stuff as my day job there was nary a thing called an API.
So anyways, we’re big fans of Simple Pie, whose PHP class we’re...
